Summary
Raghav Jha is a theoretical physicist and research scholar with 11 years of research experience across India, Europe, Canada, and the US, now based in Raleigh and seeking faculty positions. He combines deep expertise in holography, lattice field theory, tensor networks, and quantum computation with practical skills in Python, Julia, C/C++, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Qiskit and PennyLane. His work bridges high-energy theory and computational methods—using Monte Carlo on large clusters for nonperturbative supersymmetric systems and developing NISQ-era algorithms and tensor-network approaches for many-body quantum problems. At Jefferson Lab he published prolifically and mentored graduate students while applying classical and quantum computing to probe thermal black holes and quantum chaos. Notably, his trajectory reflects a long-standing curiosity about the computability of nature, from ab-initio materials work to contemporary quantum algorithms.
